contains name and locative information about more than two million
physical and cultural features located throughout the
United States of
America and its territories. It is a type of gazetteer . GNIS was
developed by the
United States Geological Survey in cooperation with
the
United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to promote the
standardization of feature names. The database is part of a system that includes topographic map names
and bibliographic references. The names of books and historic maps
that confirm the feature or place name are cited. Variant names,
alternatives to official federal names for a feature, are also
recorded. Each feature receives a permanent, unique feature record
identifier, sometimes called the GNIS identifier

ZIP Code
ZIP CODES are a system of postal codes used by the United States
Postal Service since 1963. The term ZIP is an acronym for Zone
Improvement Plan; it was chosen to suggest that the mail travels more
efficiently and quickly (zipping along) when senders use the code in
the postal address . The basic format consists of five digits. An
extended 'ZIP+4' code was introduced in 1983 which includes the five
digits of the ZIP Code, followed by a hyphen and four additional
digits that determine a more specific location. The term

Telephone Numbering Plan
A TELEPHONE NUMBERING PLAN is a type of numbering scheme used in
telecommunication to assign telephone numbers to subscriber telephones
or other telephony endpoints. Telephone numbers are the addresses of
participants in a telephone network, reachable by a system of
destination code routing. Telephone numbering plans are defined in
each of administrative regions of the public switched telephone
network (PSTN) and they are also present in private telephone
networks. For public number systems, geographic location plays a role
in the sequence of numbers assigned to each telephone subscriber. Numbering plans may follow a variety of design strategies which have
often arisen from the historical evolution of individual telephone
networks and local requirements. A broad division is commonly
recognized, distinguishing open numbering plans and closed numbering
plans

Inoculation
The terms INOCULATION, vaccination , immunization and injection are
often used synonymously to refer to artificial induction of immunity
against various infectious diseases . This is supported by some
dictionaries. However, there are some important historical and
current differences. In English medicine, inoculation referred only to
the practice of variolation until the very early 1800s. When Edward
Jenner introduced smallpox vaccine in 1798, this was initially called
cowpox inoculation or vaccine inoculation. Soon, to avoid confusion,
smallpox inoculation continued to be referred to as variolation (from
variola = smallpox) and cowpox inoculation was referred to as
vaccination (from Jenner's use of variolae vaccinae = smallpox of the
cow). Then, in 1891
Louis PasteurLouis Pasteur proposed that the terms vaccine and
vaccination should be extended to include the new protective
procedures being developed
